Contrary to popular belief, the United States no longer buys much steel directly from China. In 2016, the top countries the United States imported steel from were Canada, South Korea, Brazil and Mexico, according to Commerce Department data. China was way down in 10th place for steel imports. It's one of the reasons Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross has called the issue so "complex." Putting tariffs on China is one thing; putting them on long-time allies like Canada and South Korea is another.

Alex O’Brien who owns the Handsome Her eatery, is taking a stand against the country’s significant gender wage gap (chênh lệch mức lương nam-nữ). She’s doing this by levying an 18 percent “man tax” on her male customers, and also she’s giving her female customers seating priority (nữ được ưu tiên chỗ ngồi tốt). All of this comes in the wake of a recent government report warning that Australian women faced another 50 years of pay inequality “unless significant changes are made.” How to change? This business owner figures that making men pay more at her business is a start.

Kenyan officials are inking (đánh dấu bằng mực) the tiny fingers of babies who accompany their mothers in Tuesday's elections, cracking down on queue-jumpers who rent an infant to exploit a rule letting parents with young children skip long lines.

"Every mother who is coming with a kid, we mark the mother and also the kid," said Tabitha Muigai, the presiding officer at a polling station in central Nairobi's Starehe constituency. "(If) a mother comes with a baby we give them a notice that they are not supposed to give other mothers the same kid to come and get favors in the name of jumping the lines," she said.

The "babies-for-rent" scam was common in past Kenyan elections, often marked by delays and long queues. At Muigai's polling station, hundreds of Kenyans queued up around the block, keen to elect a new president, lawmakers and local representatives.

They are practitioners who use concrete guidelines (hướng dẫn thực hành) and techniques, such as the “four pillars” of intimacy direction, according to Alicia Rodis, a member of Intimacy Directors International.

Consent: Get the performers’ permission — including concrete boundaries and out of bounds body parts, and do it before you start.

Communication: Keep talking throughout the process. What’s working, what’s not, who’s touching who and how and do they feel safe.

Context: Just because you kiss someone in one scene doesn’t mean you can kiss them in another scene without communicating about adjusting the choreography and seeking consent to do so. Just because someone is topless with you on stage, it doesn’t mean they won’t mind being topless around you offstage, or in another scene onstage.

ICE’s hope is that this privately developed software will help go far beyond matters of legality to matters of the heart. The system must “determine and evaluate an applicant’s probability of becoming a positively contributing member of society, as well as their ability to contribute to national interests (lợi ích quốc gia)” and predict “whether an applicant intends to commit criminal or terrorist (khủng bố) acts after entering the United States.” Using software to this end is certainly in line with Trump’s campaign rhetoric (hùng biện) — during a rally in Phoenix, he described how “extreme vetting” (xem xét chặt chẽ hồ sơ tới mức cực đoan) would make sure the U.S. only accepts “the right people,” using “ideological certification (chứng nhận ý thức hệ) to make sure that those we are admitting to our country share our values (có cùng giá trị) and love our people.”

The study said drivers have been coordinating forced surge pricing, after interviews with drivers in London and New York, and research on online forums such as Uberpeople.net. In a post on the website for drivers, seen by the researchers, one person said: "Guys, stay logged off until surge. Less supply high demand = surge."
